Behemoth black hole found in an unlikely place
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Apr 11, 2016
Astronomers have uncovered a near-record breaking supermassive black hole, weighing 17 billion suns, in an unlikely place: in the center of a galaxy in a sparsely populated area of the universe. The observations, made by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Gemini Telescope in Hawaii, may indicate that these monster objects may be more common than once thought. Until now, the biggest supermassive black holes - those roughly 10 billion times the mass of our sun - have been found at the cores of ve ... read more
